Aroma: red cherry, rose, spice, balsamic

Palate: red fruit, mineral, fine tannin

From the steep Rocche di Castiglione cru, Vietti's most aromatic Barolo shows perfumed red cherry and rose with fine-grained tannin and a long, mineral finish.

What it pairs with

  • Brasato al Barolo
    The braise's depth meets the cru's red-fruit perfume and firm tannin.
  • Tajarin with white truffle
    Truffle earth resonates with the wine's mineral, savoury core.
  • Aged Castelmagno
    Salty alpine cheese sharpens the red-cherry lift.

History

Vietti has bottled single-vineyard Barolo from the Rocche di Castiglione cru in Castiglione Falletto for decades, one of the zone's most perfumed and elegant sites.
